Trailblazers specialises in providing life skills coaching for adolescents aged 16+, wherever they are living. Our constant objective is to supply a supportive environment where young people can learn how to look after themselves.

•Health education, including personal hygiene and registering with a doctor and dentist

•How to shop for, prepare and cook food, including what constitutes a balanced diet.

•Safety in the home, first aid, knowledge of the emergency services
